The 13 – The world’s most luxurious hotel

Located in the gambling mecca of Macau, in southern China, The 13 is one of the most expensive hotels ever built

The ‘all-villa’ hotel has 200 suites measuring between 2,000 and 30,000 square feet, with 24-hour butler service

Each villa features a marble Roman bath set under a vaulted Baroque ceiling supported by and a crystal chandelier

This is the first look inside an ultra-luxurious hotel that is styled like a French palace and was built for the world’s super-rich at a staggering cost of £1bn ($1.4bn).

Located in the gambling mecca of Macau, The 13 is being billed as the most luxurious hotel in the world – and it is one of the most expensive ever with a price tag that works out to more than £5million ($7million) per guest room.

Set to open in late summer, the ‘all-villa’ hotel has 200 suites measuring up to 30,000 square feet, 24-hour butler service for every room and a fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms to chauffeur guests to Macau’s high-end casinos and restaurants, business meetings or the airport.

Louis XIII Holdings Ltd, the owner of the Baroque-inspired hotel, revealed its name in a joint announcement from Hong Kong and Macau today and released interior renderings of an entry-level room, the one-bedroom Villa du Comte, to provide a sneak peek.

It is an over-the-top project from flamboyant Chinese billionaire Stephen Hung, the company’s joint chairman, who is known for his extravagant lifestyle and luxury car collection.

The former investment banker made headlines in 2014 when he visited England to place a £14million ($20million) order for 30 customised Rolls-Royce Phantoms, the largest single order ever made, for The 13.

In his new hotel, the split-level Villa du Comte guest rooms will be the smallest at 2,000 square feet in size while the largest, the Villa de Stephen (named for Hung), is 30,000 square feet, with some reports claiming it will cost around £70,000 ($100,000) a night.

The hotel hasn’t revealed the nightly rates just yet, however, but it did reveal that every room is unique and virtually every design detail in the hotel is bespoke and created especially for The 13.

While details of the larger suites remain a secret, every Villa du Comte room features a marble Roman bath, with enough space for up to eight guests, under a vaulted Baroque ceiling supported by neo-classical columns and a crystal chandelier.

When no one is in the bath it can be concealed by a retractable marble floor.

The bedroom has a king-size, velvet-canopied bed with a carved and gilded Baroque headboard in the royal tradition.

The villa is decorated with faceted chrome furniture designed by Hung and artists.

The 13 will also have an invitation-only L’Atelier where guests can buy ‘couture, bespoke and limited edition products’ from luxury brands and the only outpost of L’Ambroisie, a three-Michelin star restaurant in Paris.

All guests access their villas via elevators which open directly into a private elevator lobby, much like a New York-style penthouse
